Week 4: April 2, 2015 – Post Catheter Ablation Recovery Update

Travis Van Slooten |April 2, 2015 | 8 Comments

It has been another peaceful week without any heart issues to speak of – not even a single heart palpitation. My heart rate continues to be much higher than my pre-ablation levels of 52 bpm but no biggie. I don’t feel any different because of it. I know it will come down in the months to come. My supplement regimen hasn’t changed at all from week one but I will be increasing my magnesium to 900 – 1,000mg per day […]

Am I Magnesium Deficient? My EXA TEST Results Are In!

Travis Van Slooten |April 1, 2015 | 60 Comments

Magnesium is the most important mineral for people with atrial fibrillation. Almost all afib patients are deficient in magnesium. Of all the supplements an afibber can take, magnesium is the most important. But magnesium isn’t just important for afibbers. It’s important for everyone. Magnesium is responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions in the body and is the second most abundant element inside human CELLS. I’m emphasizing the word “cells” for a reason as I’ll explain shortly. If you have atrial […]

Week 3: March 26, 2015 – Post Catheter Ablation Recovery Update

Travis Van Slooten |March 26, 2015 | 5 Comments

This past week has been great! Absolutely no issues to report with my heart or my overall health. My heart rate continues to beat in the 80’s – more than 30 beats per minute more than what my heart rate was prior to my ablation (52 beats per minute) but that’s o.k. I don’t even notice a difference and I know it will eventually come down over time. My weight is stable at 175 pounds and I haven’t changed anything […]

Week 2: March 19, 2015 – Post Catheter Ablation Recovery Update

Travis Van Slooten |March 19, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Another perfect week as I didn’t have a single heart palpitation or any symptoms from the ablation whatsoever. There have been no changes in my supplementation other than I took Natural Calm Magnesium occasionally in place of the ReMag magnesium. I still maintained around 750mg of magnesium per day. I also had an appointment with a naturopathic doctor this past week to have an EXAtest done. I’m looking forward to the results because I’ll finally know what my electrolyte levels […]

Week 1: March 12, 2015 – Post Catheter Ablation Recovery Update

Travis Van Slooten |March 12, 2015 | Leave a Comment

I didn’t have any issues whatsoever the first week after my ablation – not even a single heart palpitation. My insertion holes have already healed and I didn’t suffer any soreness, bruising, or anything with those. I did wash my car this week and I cleaned out the garage but I did these things very slowly as not to be too active. I probably shouldn’t have done either one the first week after the ablation but I was feeling great […]
